Meet Emily - Image Metrics Tech Demo (HQ)



Uploaded by: Pikey1969
Video Description:
Yes you read correctly, TECH demo. She IS the demo.
Until the 1:30 mark when they revert back to the source (the real actress), her entire face is being simulated by the technology.
Peace out uncanny valley!
ps. Thanks to perrygood &true for the HD source material for this upload.
ps2. Fyi, Times Online broke the coverage on this particular before any other site. Give them some clicks.

Use your brain moron. Real actors can't fly through the air, ride on top of dinosaurs, etc etc. A CGI actor can."
Ok, but I wonder who the real moron is when they have already been doing that kind of thing for many years.

Yea but this is just about ramping it up a bit.
The mouth is messed ... ( 1 week ago by schemedemon)
The mouth is messed up - where 3D ref markers/Vicon clean up is the fact that the 3D geometry rotates while keeping scalar values between ref points. Look at the mouth when she tilts her head - when speaking, there is an unacceptable amount of distortion. This system is impressive, but not ready to compete with vicon's (also markerless) system.

kinda creepy really, i had no idea this technology was here

And like I said already, it looks like CRAP. Green screen always looks fake. If you couldn't tell, then you are obviously an idiot.
Array ( 1 week ago by Pikey1969)
yes, totally...
oh wait, there are no fucking green screens involved here what so fuckin ever.
Please re-read the ... ( 1 week ago by EnigmaHood)
Please re-read the context my message was in. I was not talking about the video, I was referring to the argument of how CGI characters are useless because you can use real actors in front of a green screen. Understand now?

Do you mean at 41 secs in ? I thought that was a smirk ?
I'm going to guess ... ( 1 week ago by Preevailer)
I'm going to guess that either you are new to 3D modeling and animation or are not involved at all based on your comments, I apologize if I have guessed incorrectly but anyway back on track... First off this is only a model of the head that is pasted on top of the real head. It does not look that real if you concentrate on only looking at it. 2nd the quality of green screen is far greater than you my believe. It infact looks quite realistic now (For example Star Wars Revenge of the Sith) cont
Ok as a ... ( 1 week ago by Preevailer)
Ok as a continuation of my previous message... The unrealistic part is often in the way the actor pretends to react to their non-existant environment. So a better solution would be to perhaps get better actors, get green props that can be cut out that help the actor etc over spending plenty of time with a fancy CG actor that won't even look all that good
Yeah and give some ... ( 1 week ago by HavaTest)
Yeah and give some examples in movies where using this technique looks better than movies made with green screen, special effects?
No? That's what I thought...
You're just a troll, who can't put a point across without hurling insults. I'm through replying to your ignorance.
And to answer your point, yeah I do think the movies where green screen has been used looks real and good. Guess I must be an idiot.
It doesn't matter ... ( 1 week ago by EnigmaHood)
It doesn't matter what the quality of this animation is. It's the potential of CGI models.
Your last sentence ... ( 1 week ago by EnigmaHood)
Your last sentence pretty much sums up what I would have said to you. Thanks for saving me the time.
This isn't a CGI ... ( 1 week ago by HavaTest)
This isn't a CGI model, this is a texture put ontop of an actor.

"Over the course of several months, image metrics sent O'Brien off to USC for facial scanning inside their custom light globe, filmed her answering questions in a studio,animated and rendered the vid,and brought to final project to SIGGRAPH(Special Interest Group on Graphics and Interactive Techniques)."
no green screens no mocap, just "almost limitless" markers because every single pixel that is on the face in the vid can be analyzed and extract data from
and how does this ... ( 2 days ago by ModernPrototype)
and how does this benefit games. Using this will require a real person to model off of instead of creating your own character. This means you will have to base everything in the game off the real actions of a person. I thin this technology isnt really applicable
this technology is ... ( 2 days ago by ModernPrototype)
this technology is a fail. Motion capture with the dots allows you to apply real movement to made up game characters. With this you can only record the actor and make them look animated, in this case y not save money and just put the real person in the game, like Black. WASTE OF MONEY, FAIL!!!! makes no sense
This is like ... ( 2 days ago by ModernPrototype)
This is like wanting to make a movie and have a green pencil in it but you only have a yellow, so you spend $1000 to make the yellow pencil look green. Jus go out and buy a green pencil. This technology is too useless. Please someone leave a comment and tell me y this technology is usefull.

Is it meant as a ... ( 1 day ago by IchigoMe)
Is it meant as a short cut to actually making a model and texture? Is it meant to get better more realistic mouth movement and facial expression?
If you need to use this "technology" to make a realistic model, then I think it kind of defeats the purpose and might as well just shoot a live action movie.
But I am open to change my mind if someone can show me some examples of this technology used in movies.
